@makeupmadhouse will be a familiar face if you have followed along with coloured contacts for a while. She has teamed up with us to create a range of carnival costume inspiration so make sure to check out her gallery pictures to see all our past collaborations. Her mermaid makeup is one of our favourites and uses two of our costume contact lenses – Blue Blizzard Lenses and White Blind Lenses.
@sfx_by_bry has created a classic fancy dress outfit with an SFX makeup twist. Her pirate costume features a fake scar with White Blind Lenses, similar to @makeupmadhouse’s mermaid. This is a great way to enjoy the blind effect lenses for the carnival season. Wearing only one blind lens will allow you to have clear vision in the other eye.
This colourful paint splat design by @nicole_sfx_artist was created for her New Year celebrations but this vibrant design would also look amazing for carnival. Paint just your face or make your own design for your chest with this funky rainbow makeup. For this design, Nicole has chosen the natural Pearl Grey Lenses.
The classic Venetian Masks are such a spectacular sight during carnival so we love it when makeup artists take inspiration from traditional masks. @mulan_mtz has created this unusual makeup design that could easily be a mask. This clever makeup featuring our red mesh lenses would fit right in with carnival costumes. Choose a pair of costume coloured contacts to match the colour theme of your design.
